they had just about given up on romney before last night. they needed -- they really needed romney to do well last night. otherwise, they would have just folded their tent. unfortunately, they got the boost last night that they needed. because romney did breathe new life into the campaign. now for the next week, right it's going to be oh, my god, oh, my god, we gotta bounce now. we didn't get a bounce out of paul ryan or tampa but now yeah romney proved he's up to the task. he showed that he's capable of holding his own against president obama and this is going to re-energize the republicans. just when we had them down for the count we let them back up. off the canvas. should never have done it. should never have let it happened. all right. more calls coming up and we'll talk to reporter from the hill, niles standage in the next segment here of the "full court press." >> announcer: this is the "bill press show." >>and now to my point. that is a whole bunch of bunk! the powerful my steal an election but they cannot steal democracy.

we know that they went a little bit nuts last night with bombshell video. i think lola falana or ursula andress were bombshells. paul ryan is running for vice president of the united states with mitch romney, somebody calls him mitch romney. paul ryan has been out, let's hear what paul ryan said on sunday when he was talk about the math that goes on in his budget plan. >> you haven't given me the math. >> well, i don't have -- it would take me too long to go through all of the math, but let me say it this way. you can lower tax rates 20% across the board by closing loopholes for the middle class. >> >> you haven't given me the math. >> well, i don't have -- it would take me too long to go through all of the math. >> i've only got about six weeks left in this campaign, i can't show it to you. >> the thing that is so fascinating about that is people republicans the republicans that do like paul ryan, they like him because he's mr. numbers. he's so good with the numbers. he's so good with the math and if he can't explain it in an interview on a sunday morning

night where mitt romney shows up in a different way. so when that happens how does that influence your work? or does it? >> sure it influences it to the extent we have to see if there is a change in polls, is this real or a temporary statistical blip. but we cannot control for every factor in a campaign. for the set pieces, the conventions, and the debates which we have to kind of wait and see how people react. i certainly don't think obama did very well in the debate but sometimes you'll have -- it doesn't show up in a big way in the polls a couple of days later. >> my friends swear by you. people are following your blog and sending out emails so you have this huge following out there, and you can follow nate on twitter @fivethirtityeight. the book is called "the signal and the noise." so let's talk about what you are seeing from your data analysis. >> we had obama up by about four or five points before the debate. my guess would be now that is down to two to three points or maybe a little bit smaller. we'll see what happens with the j

i want to take another call from paul in the great city i just flew in from last night seattle. good morning. >> good morning. my question for the debate would be is governor romney's -- governor etch-a-sketch, that is, his refusal to release a history of tax returns to be taken as a new standard and setting a new precedent for presidential candidates or should we take this as just one time just for him just for now? i'd like to see how both of them respond to that. >> what do you think mitt romney is going to say if he's asked that question. >> i think he'll say it's up to the individual. >> he will, he will, just as it was up to his father when his father released 11 or 12 years when he set the standard. >> if i was barack obama, i would remind the american people that we have employers who will require a drug test. we have employers that will ask for your facebook password. we have all kinds of standards that employers require of us that you would think actually seem more invasive to me rather than simply showing us that you pay taxes and you're within the law for the next 10
